[Cliff Richmond](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116381035145679701489/reviews) ★★★★★

We have wanted to visit for a few years and finally booked a stay in the area to do so. Four hours of utter bliss. Weather was kind enough not to spoil it and the paths are well maintained, wide and level. I had prebooked a mobility scooter and the volunteer lady who dealt with me was a delight. She made sure l was competent with it and after signing up, off we went. A brilliant day out and from what we witnessed, appeals to everyone. Young, old, disabled, children, dog walkers just about everyone imaginable. The cafe was great and the food and service excellent. As they obviously have a bit of surplus wood about there are plenty of well.placed locally made seats throughout the area. If you are thinking of going, make the effort now and enjoy the experience. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at Westonbirt in early spring, quite a few things were already blooming and the floor was carpeted with flowers. It was really relaxing and calming to walk around this well cared for place. We also visited the temporary restaurant which had a good selection of filling meals with friendly service from all the staff. Although I understand that a place like this must cost a lot to maintain, I have to remove a star for Westonbirt’s cynical and frankly nasty pricing policy of charging an extra £5 per adult on weekends and bank holidays. Also, charging £4 each for a children’s trail pack is steep. These both left a sour taste in the mouth.

This was my first visit to the Nation Arboretum, but it certainly won't be the last. Stunningly beautiful and the shade was a blessing on the hottest day of the year so far. We spent 5 hours wondering around and didn't see half of what was a available to see. We also visited the cafe near the smoke house, the food and service was great, additionally there are loads of places for picnics if you need them.
